15.9

支因說不定者,支謂七支,因謂受戒心。支不定者,有從一切支得,謂苾芻戒;有從四支得,謂勤策等戒。因不定者,謂下中上心不俱起故。或有住戒非一切因,謂或下心、或中、或上,受近住、近事、勤策戒。或有住戒由一切因,謂以下心受近事戒,復起中心受勤策戒,後起上心受苾芻戒,具此三心,名一切因。論云:「若人不作五種定限,方可受得別解脫戒。」謂有情、支、處、時、緣定。有情定者,念我唯於某類有情當離殺等。言支定者,念我唯於某律儀支能持不犯。言處定者,念我唯於其類方域。當離殺等。言時定者,念我唯於某日月等時能離殺等。言緣定者,念我唯除鬪戰等緣能離殺等。若作五種定限受者,不得律儀,但得律儀相似妙行。

"The factors and causes are said to be non-fixed": the "factors" refers to the seven factors [of physical and vocal actions], and the "causes" refers to the mind that receives the precepts. That the factors are non-fixed means: some are acquired from all factors, namely the bhikṣu precepts; some are acquired from four factors, namely the precepts of the novice (śrāmaṇera) and the like. That the causes are non-fixed means: the lower, middling, and superior minds do not arise simultaneously. Or some abide in the precepts not through all causes, meaning that with a lower mind, or middling, or superior, one receives the upavāsa, upāsaka, or śrāmaṇera precepts. Or some abide in the precepts by means of all causes, meaning that with a lower mind one receives the upāsaka precepts, then gives rise to a middling mind to receive the śrāmaṇera precepts, and subsequently gives rise to a superior mind to receive the bhikṣu precepts; possessing these three minds is called "all causes". The treatise says: "Only if a person does not make five kinds of definite restrictions can they receive and acquire the prātimokṣa precepts." These are definite restrictions regarding sentient beings, factors, places, times, and conditions. A restriction regarding sentient beings means thinking, "I will abstain from killing and the like only with respect to certain kinds of sentient beings." A restriction regarding factors means thinking, "I can uphold and not violate only certain factors of the discipline." A restriction regarding places means thinking, "I will abstain from killing and the like only in certain regions." A restriction regarding times means thinking, "I can abstain from killing and the like only during certain months, days, and the like." A restriction regarding conditions means thinking, "Except under conditions such as battle, I can abstain from killing and the like." If one receives them while making these five kinds of definite restrictions, one does not acquire the discipline, but merely acquires wholesome conduct resembling the discipline.
